Fig. 2: Correlations between age, module score and task validate the spatial approach.
From: Two simple movement mechanisms for spatial division of labour in social insects
a, b Honeybee and ant workers exhibit similar transitions between modules as a function of age. Stacked bars indicate the average module score profile for individuals of a given age. The horizontal bar encodes the typical module score profile for individual of each age (CMYK combination of the scores for each module, averaged across all individuals of each age). c, d Workers belonging to different spatial modules exhibit different task profiles. Scatterplots represent the outcome of LargeVis dimensionality reductions applied to the worker task profiles. Points represent different individuals. Point separation indicates task profile similarity. The module scores were not used in the LargeVis analysis or in the task definitions. See Supplementary Movie 1 for three-dimensional LargeVis representations of all four species. Source data are provided as a source data file.
